Daniel Craig to play James Bond again

Wake Up ends with a.... what?

Ten's doomed morning show Wake Up wrapped on Friday with tears and a line that might become more memorable than the show.

Shortly after the credits rolled over shots of the visibly distraught Wake Up team on the deck of Manly’s Queenscliff Surf Club, Belling, Mathison and the crew were seen sharing champagne and consoling embraces on the set.

Much of the two-hour show turned into mutual admiration fest as regular guests, including newsreader Nuala Hafner and roving reporter Sam "Mac" McMillan, lined up to say how much they would miss the program.

"It’s a glass half full kind of morning here at the beach house," said Belling, prompting the quip from Mathison, "Glass half full of whisky", in reference to his now infamous "scotchy, scotch, scotch" tweet when he first heard the show was being canned.

Despite Wake Up’s very short life, the producers still managed to stitch together an engaging package of highlights that had many fans taking to Twitter and Facebook to voice their support.

That backing, however, failed to translate into viewing figures for the troubled show, with barely 35,000 people tuning in each morning.

On Wednesday, Ten axed Wake Up and its early, morning and late news bulletins, along with 150 of its 500 news and operations staff.

All the cancelled programs are airing for the final time today. And the network appeared to be at pains to immediately forget Wake Up ever existed, with all evidence of the program erased from the Tenplay website this morning

Hermione Kitson – presenter of Ten’s early Eyewitness News bulletin – was given farewell flowers by Studio 10’s Sarah Harris on air this morning.

On Twitter, Kitson thanked Harris for the "truly special surprise send-off; thank you @Studio10au for making me feel so loved".

A Ten spokesman said the farewell was for the axed bulletin, not Kitson.

It is unclear whether the newsreader – or the hosts of other cancelled programs, including Belling and Mathison and newsreader Matt Doran – will remain with the network.

"The voluntary redundancy program has just started," the spokesman said. "Obviously, the outcome of that program is not known at this early stage. It is inappropriate for us to discuss individual members of staff."
